Between you and your spouse, who nags more?

My mother is a nagger. Growing up, I saw how much she nagged my father, and I told myself I would never be like that. It left such an imprint on me that I promised my younger self that if I ever had a husband, I would never become a nagger like my mom.
In all fairness though, she had every reason to nag. My father was an alcoholic gambler, and his gamble of choice—cockfighting—made my mom nag even more because she had to take care of his fighting cocks/roosters while he was at work. And fighting cocks/roosters require a highly specialized diet of special feeds, vitamins, and other things, which ate up most of our already meager budget for a family of nine.
Anyway, the picture above just reminds me of the whole nagging situation. 
How about you? Do you know what birds they are?

My mom was a nagger as well, but she wasn’t too bad. My dad worked hard all day to support our family, so when he got home each evening he just wanted some time to decompress and relax. But of course my mom wanted him to immediately start helping with the chores, so that’s where nagging would start.

@sol_cee I did. My brother and I always had a list of chores to do around the house. My mom was funny in that respect, she would always write out lists of things that needed done around the house, and she would have a list for me, my brother, and my dad to do each day. So we all helped out around the house.

I am the nagger. 
My mom is a nagger too, and same as you, I have told myself not to be a nagger, I understand how annoying it can be to be nagged. Well, though I don't nag my husband, as I know he doesn't like to be nagged, and there's nothing I would like to nag him, I keep nagging my children.... I still always remind myself not to nag my children and I understand how they don't like it, especially my teenaged boy, but sometimes... I have to remind them many times on a certain task they need to work on. Now what I have "improved" is that, I try to use a few short words instead of "long story" to remind them.

Usually neither of us nag, but sometimes we have to, and it's about equal. It's more just reminding, though, not nagging. I'm sorry your dad was irresponsible like that. I bet your mom didn't want to be a nagger!
